John F. Kennedy, the CIA, Ngô Đình Diệm, the Assassinations of Two Presidents, Bishop Thuc and why Sedevacantism without any return of a valid Papacy is true - Part 5 of 5

We are not concerned with the secondary types of the Abomination of Desolation here.

The First Abomination of Desolation - the Tower of Babel, see here: Parousia of Jesus Christ Our Lord: Parousia of Jesus Christ Our Lord: Parousia of Jesus Christ Our Lord: St. Aphrahat the Persian Demonstration V.-Of Wars.

The Second Abomination of Desolation was when the Jews cursed God and Jesus Christ in the Temple after having committed the sin of Deicide and the Holy Trinity destroyed the Temple in 70 A.D. All attempts to rebuild the Temple are based on the unforgivable sin the Jews committed then, see: Traditional Catholic Prayers: Traditional Catholic Prayers: Traditional Catholic Prayers: Look up, your redemption is at hand: The Naasseni and Isis

The Third Abomination of Desolation is the unforgivable sin committed by the Satanist priesthood in the Apostate Vatican led by Paul VI on June 29, 1963, which destroyed the Sacred Liturgy, the Mass and the Divine Office, in ANY connection with the Vatican forevermore, see here: The Justice of God: The Abomination of Desolation - The Full Consensus of the Church Fathers based squarely on Sacred Scripture, especially Prophetic Scripture, adamantly and absolutely declared that this would occur and when it did - there would be NO going back nor undoing it for the Apostates nor for the Eccliasial structure that they command (which is still called the Roman Catholic Church but is only the Antichrist's Satanist cult at this point). According to the Full Consensus of the Church Fathers it would center in Rome, the Vatican, and this would be the Abomination of Desolation insofar as the Mass is concerned and in that regard is perpetual until the Second Coming of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Concerning this unforgivable sin, the ONLY recourse for the faithful is to be totally separate from all of it utterly forevermore or go to hell with the Apostates. This separation is God's doing, not the sin of course, but the absolute command to separate is God's doing. No man can undo it. Have nothing to do with the Abomination of Desolation or you will be damned forever.
This is the part that replaced the former Divine Office and preaching: Parousia of Jesus Christ Our Lord: The Abomination of Assisi and The Justice of God: The Abomination of Desolation of Pantheistic Monist Satanic Apostasy

The Third leads directly to the Fourth.

The Fourth Abomination of Desolation is the Antichrist sitting in the rebuilt Temple in Jerusalem calling himself God: Parousia of Jesus Christ Our Lord: The Rebuilt Temple is the Abomination of Desolation

Since the Full Consensus of the Church Fathers on the Abomination of Desolation is unchangeable Catholic Doctrine, the Declaration of Sedevacante of Archbishop P. M. Ngo Dinh Thuc is Sedevacante in Perpetuum. It is not going to change. This is so whether the Archbishop knew it or not. He spoke the truth and it is Perpetual until the Second Coming of Our Lord Jesus Christ.


This is presented here for the parts on Msgr. P. M. Ngo Dinh Thuc, Archbishop of Hue in Vietnam, especially his declaration of Sedevacante and how the entire faith was gutted by the Satanists of the 1958 Conclave and Vatican II. The Vatican is forevermore Apostate. Sedevacante in Perpetuum. It is now the throne of Darkness of the False Prophet and will remain that until its eternal destruction into the lake of fire by God Almighty.

throne of Darkness of the False Prophet - See: 

The Apocalypse, the Book of the Revelation: 16.

10 And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat [throne] of the beast. And his kingdom became dark: and they gnawed their tongues for pain. …

11 And they blasphemed the God of heaven, because of their pains and wounds: and did not penance for their works. … Scripture reference – Isaiah: 8:21!; Rev.: 2:21; 9:20, 21!

Isaiah 8:21 And they shall pass by it, they shall fall, and be hungry: and when they shall be hungry, they will be angry, and curse their king, and their God, and look upwards.

The Apocalypse, the Book of the Revelation: 2.

21 And I gave her a time that she might do penance: and she will not repent of her fornication. … Scripture reference – Job 24:23!; Rev. 9:20!, 21; 16:11

The Apocalypse, the Book of the Revelation: 9.

20 And the rest of the men, who were not slain by these plagues, did not do penance from the works of their hands, that they should not adore devils and idols of gold and silver and brass and stone and wood, which neither can see nor hear nor walk: … Scripture reference – Rev.: 2:21; 16:9; Dan.: 5:23

21 Neither did they penance from their murders nor from their sorceries nor from their fornication nor from their thefts. … Scripture reference – Rev.: 2:21; 16:11

Dan 5:23 But hast lifted thyself up against the Lord of heaven: and the vessels of his house have been brought before thee: and thou, and thy nobles, and thy wives, and thy concubines have drunk wine in them: and thou hast praised the gods of silver, and of gold, and of brass, of iron, and of wood, and of stone, that neither see, nor hear, nor feel: but the God who hath thy breath in his hand, and all thy ways, thou hast not glorified. 

"But the only Bishop with sufficient credibility and courage to declare the chair of Peter vacant was Msgr. P. M. Ngo Dinh Thuc, Archbishop of Hue  in Vietnam.  He held three doctorates in Philosophy, Theology and Canon Law, plus a Licencié d’Enseignement.  He was honoured with “Plenitude of Apostolic powers with all necessary faculties” by two Popes Pius XI and Pius XII. The six charges he forwarded are: New Mass invalid, modernism, false oecumenism, worship of man, liberty in embracing whatever religion and refusal to condemn heresies and expel heretics.  (See Sedevacante International here below)."

DECLARATION

On John Paul II’s death, succession.

Praised, extolled by the World. 

Extraordinary Pope.  “John Paul the Great.  “ (Italian President  Carlo Ciampi)

“Universal Father” (Title of a book to be published in May).

A Pope for the people. “A man who bridged nations, religions and ages (USA Today)

Champion of human dignity, human rights. 

Apostle of world’s peace.  Committed to peace and reconciliation.  “Most traveled Pope... preaching peace and unity”  (CNN)

“Globe-trotting pontiff helped topple dictators, charmed world with his warmth”  (Atlanta Journal C.)

Perpetual motion papacy.... Determined to make the world his parish.  124 countries visited in 104 trips.

Church shepherd and a catalyst for world changes. “Populist blend of showmanship, evangelism and impassioned appeals for human rights, peace, disarm-ament and justice for the poor and the oppressed”  (The New York Times).  Theologians argue: Spectacular trips left no lasting results... Religious equivalent of rock concerts that failed to offer something transcendent.  Enormous financial costs of the trips.

                It’s well known that the big secular  media have been long since before Vatican II Council, at the service of the Prince of the World.  J.P. II by obtaining their praise, on mundale issues on terrestrial herebelow not on everlasting hereafter, contradicts what is expected from true Apostles of Christ :”I have given them Thy word, and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world”  (Jn. 17, 14)  “But I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth  you.  (Jn. 15, 19).  “In the world you will have distress”  (Jn 16, 33).  The mission of a Peter’s successor and Christ’s Vicar on earth is to “teach all nations...  Teaching them, to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you”  (Mt. 18, 19-20).  That mission concerns  the soul salvation, by conversion, repentence and following Christ in bearing each one’s cross to attain paradise beatitude.  “The friendship of this world is the enemy of God.”  (James 4, 4). - Now this world is in distress with crimes, violence between men and men, between nations and nations on global level, and threat of a third world war, a nuclear one. Peace, peace is the greatest problem.  The perennial causes of world sufferings must be found in man’s inclinations viciated  from the Original Sin of mankind parents Adam and Eve : The seven Capital Sins of pride, covetousness or greed, lust, anger, gluttony, envy and sloth are inherent to fallen humankind. Sins are  unbriddled in this atheist society in rebellion against God and God’s commandments.  Sins of lust, injustice and pride seem surpass those of Sodom and Noah times, provoking God’s wrath and chastisement.  How and where to find remedy ? National and international laws cannot prevent crimes and violence, nor human justice chastize adequately all criminals.  J.P. II rallied all the false-religion leaders to pray their false gods for world peace. False remedy, unworthy of his divine mission and duty given by Christ  He neglected to teach repentence, conversion like prophet Jonah in Niniveh in ancient times.  He failed to clamour the gravity of the errors in tenets and perversions in morals.  Nowhere is the collapse of christendom more deplorable than in the former catholic Europe now becoming an anti-christian European Union, and the clergy sex scandal not only in the USA but in most other developed countries.   Apocalyptic times are upon us.  No more peace seems possible but dreadful justice at hand.

 In the inner circle of the Vatican, the same biased appreciation of the merits of J.P. II inspired sort of triumphalism.  “Christ opens the door (of the paradise) for John Paul II this evening or this night,” Vatican says.  (Atlanta Journal C. quoting a declaration of  Angelo Comastri, the Pope’s vicar general for Vatican City, when death seems imminent and unavoidable). - This self-assurancre and confidence  sweep away the fear of God’s judgement following every man’s death, expressed in the millenial belief that the day of judgement is day of justice no more mercy.  Dies irae dies illa... Judicandus homo reus (It’s the day of wrath... Man (appearing before God’s tribunal) as sinner to be judged.  (See St. Augustine’s prayer imploring forgiveness and mercy, at the death of his mother St. Monica.  Appendix 1).  Why that change of belief ?  Because of the new teaching of J.P. II’s Catechism on: “universal and absolute predestination of all men, to grace, to the remission of sins and eternal life ... Son of God united, through His mysteries, to all men forever, infallibly saving them all. (Appendix 2).  Such errors of a modernized Catholicism flatter and deceive the common people, adding to the popularity of the Conciliar Popes among the pagans, heretics and in the same time destroying the true Faith.

Destroyed the true faith by gutting Catholicism of its essentials.

 Under the fallacious pretext of renewal and openness, J.P. II continued his predecessor Conciliar Popes in dismantling the millenial traditional dogmas and practices, thus creating a new Church. New Canon Law. New Catechism.  New Liturgy. New Sacraments,  New Way of the Cross.  Even a new Rosary, changing a cherished Holy Tradition dated back to the 12^th century. The new catechism of J.P. II poisoned the true faith, in blatant and insinuated assertions picked up and classified in twelve chapters of heresies by Professor G. de Nantes.  (See Appendix 2). Among the new Sacraments, the most harmfull changes are the ones on the Holy Orders.  Priests and Bishops ordained or consecrated under the new rite are false priests and false Bishops. New priests receive no authority to offer the Mass nor to absolve sins; new Bishops no duty and priviledge as detailed in the old rite. The new Canon law, in articles 1055, 1098, insists on the contract character of the Sacrament of Matrimony and opens it to easy annullment under most futile pretexts, thus destroying the fundamentals of the family.  Most destruct-ive is the New Mass.  Meant to replace the millenial true Mass that is the Tridentine Mass of St. Pius V, it was fabricated with the help of six Protestant pastors in order to render it acceptable to all Protestants.  It’s a master piece of ambivalance, wherein the essential character of Mass-sacrifice is so blurred out that the Protestants regard it as non-existant while the catholics think it not totally disappeared.  In the dogmatic field, the total difference of the New Mass compared to the old Traditional one, has been exposed by Cardinal Ottaviani and his team of theologians (See the Ottaviani intervention). In the practical field, the New Mass is open to uncontrolable variations made by the priest celebrants according to their personal inspirations. The New Mass, said no more in latin but in vernacular languages with abuses – specially altar-girls, communion on hands in standing position - and variations ad infinitum, destroyed the unity of the Church – unity being one of the four essential characters of Christ’s Church. Oecumenism and dialogue are no less deceiving and destructive than false Mass.  By promoting them as essential of modern catholicism, J.P.II contradicts Christ’s order to “teach all nations”, leaves the heretics and pagans in their errors while silencing what is essentially catholic. Another destruction tactic has been refusing  to condemn heresies and expel heretics.  Dissenters publicly teach errors, and remain indemn, causing perversion in every aspect of christian life. The ‘sin crying to God for vengeance’,  - that’s sodomy as practiced by the homosexuals in the ancient Sodom, - is now defended and propagated even among the clergy as an alternative way of life.  The total perversion of dogmas and ethics developed and implemented by Paul VI and John Paul II take their origin from new teachings of Vatican II Council. ( See the Book of accusation for heresy, by Professor Abbé Georges de Nantes against Paul VI. Appendix 2).   The Conciliar Church thus is no more the true Church founded by Christ and perpetuated through  two millenia.  It’s a humanistic, modernist, heretic and schismatic Church.  It uses treacherously the  Catholic appearance while gutting all catholic substance. By contradicting formers true Popes’ teachings, J.P. II becomes false Pope.

Sedevacante and  new true Pope.

At the time of the Vatican II Council, some clearsighted minds had seen the risks, errors of John XXIII and Paul VI. A champion of orthodoxy, Professor in Philosophy and Theology Abbé Georges de Nantes followed steps by steps the statements of Paul VI in conjunction with the resolutions of the Council and prepared his great Book of accusation for heresy, schism and scandal against Paul VI.  Ten years later, in 1973, he and 68 supporters came to the Vatican and deposited the formal complaint document in the hands of Paul VI himself.  But the only Bishop with sufficient credibility and courage to declare the chair of Peter vacant was Msgr. P. M. Ngo Dinh Thuc, Archbishop of Hue  in Vietnam.  He held three doctorates in Philosophy, Theology and Canon Law, plus a Licencié d’Enseignement.  He was honoured with “Plenitude of Apostolic powers with all necessary faculties” by two Popes Pius XI and Pius XII. The six charges he forwarded are: New Mass invalid, modernism, false oecumenism, worship of man, liberty in embracing whatever religion and refusal to condemn heresies and expel heretics.  (See Sedevacante International here below).

Now by adopting the many perversions of Vatican II Council, mainly the three heresies on Religious Liberty, Oecumenism and Universal salvation, the present College of Cardinals has become college of heretics.  False college with false Cardinals has no power to elect any new true Pope.  “The 1917 Canon Law foresaw this abnormal case, and in its Canon 20 provided a solution.  In extra-ordinary circumstances when thre voters endowned with normal right of electing fail to their prerogative, there can be a suppletory – or remedial – right for their substitutes.  This right is to be determined according to the four guidelines: legibus latis in similibus, generalibus juris principiis cum aequitate canonica servatis, stylo et praxi Curiae Romanae, communi constantique sententia doctorum. A spanish professor, Dr. Tomas Tello Corraliza made research on these four fields of: similar laws, canonical principles of higher scope, general practice of the Roman Curia and common, constant opinion of doctors, then he came to conclude: The result of researches on the four criteria: legal, juridical, praxis and doctrinal, is an amazing and harmonious convergence on the same norm: the rightful electors to organize a papal election in the present circumstances are the faithful Bishops” (See his Dictamen.  Basic guidelines for a Papal election.  May 1994).  The ‘similar Canons’ Corraliza consulted being 109, 166; the ‘praxis’ of the Church he referred to is found in the reliable documentation of the Dictionnaire de la Theùologie Catholique.  Article Election des Papes; the ‘doctors’ he personally, (and some of recent researchers mentioned by him: Abbé V. M. Zins, Daly J. Briton, H. Johas, K. J. Mock) consulted, being Cajetan, Vitopria, St. R. Bellarmino, John of St. Thomas, Dom Grea, L. Billot and Ch. Journet.  -  Another researcher, Dr. Homero Johas, a Brazilian professor, in his study on the necessity of a Pope, said:”God did not determine the form of the papal election, but the necessity of  the papal election continues to be of divine mandate.” He then discussed the suppletory right based on opinions of doctors in the history of the Church, then affirmed that in extraordinary circumstances, the power to elect a Pope is transferred to the Church by restitution.  Restitution, as explained by Cajetan (Apologia.  Chap. XIII) being transmission from a superior to the immediate inferior.  The rightful electors now are the faithful Bishops either many or few whom we may trust at the present times.  Professor Corraliza precised: To the sedevacantist Episcopal body exclusively correspond the duty and the right of the papal election in the present circumstances. -  What electoral procedure is to be followed?  When Pope Pius VI was kept prisoner by Napoléon, he gave wide powers to the Cardinals to decide about the law of the Conclave, as well as other ceremonies and formalities for  the next papal election.  His successor, Pius VII did the same.  Pius IX, acting in consequence of the invasion of the pontifical States, also established a particular legislation as an alternative for the case when the ordinary norm could not be observed.  Professor Corraliza quoted all that from the Dictionnaire de la Théologie Catholique to support his statement that the rightful Bishop electors are sovereign to plan the specific formalities and procedure of this election: number and qualification of representative electors, majority required etc.  Practically, the mass of the faithful laity have to know who are the ‘trustworthy sedevacantist Bishops who remain faithful to the Traditional Church’ as of before Vatican II Council?  Are they to be found only among the Apostolic successors of Archbishop P. M. Ngo Dinh Thuc?  (See more in III. 9 Suppletory Right versus False Cardinals, by NTT USA NEWS)

Catéchisme de l’Oratoire.

(Some excerpts from the above dossiers:)  Absurdity of a materialiter Pope as defended by Msgr. Guérard des Lauriers and his followers specially Msgr. Berthout in France, Msgr. McKenna in the USA... Legally elected was Pope Martin V  in 1417 despite the fact that out  of  the 56 electors, only 8 or 9 were perhaps valid Cardinals and more than half of the electors were not Cardinals at all.... In case of absolute necessity when the Church has no more true Cardinals, then other delegates can and ought to come forward for a papal election... “If anyone does not , with mind and lips, reject and anathematize all the heretics together with their impious writings even to the least portion, condemnatus sit.” (Denz. 271-272). There can be nothing more dangerous than those heretics who admit nearly all cycles of doctrine, and yet by one word, as with a drop of poison. infect the real and simple faith taught by Our Lord and handed down by Apostolic Tradition."  ” Paying undue tribute to non-Popes Paul VI and J.P. II as true Vicars of Christ is committing  treachery against Christ Himself, and addressing those Pope-players as Holy Father is either lying or idolizing.  What to foresee toward the papal election ? Accelerated information and studies.  International Organizer Committee.  International Conference.

                The fact of sedevacante offers easy solutions to most inextricable problems. Fr. Gruner, marian apostle with his Fatima Crusader magazine leading millions of faithful on true devotion to the Blessed Virgin, wanted to please both the Pope and the Mother of God in an impos-sible endeavour.  Came the moment when the Vatican condemned him for his apostolate activities .  If he saw clearly that J.P. II was a false Pope, he had not to spend so many millions and so much time pleading for his innocence and not regain the favour of the Pope.  The Neumann Press, if it had known J.P. II as false Pope , had not taken so much pain in “begging John Paul II to restore old teachings of his predecessors”.  Futile and vain effort in begging a non-Pope.  In Italy a group of traditional priests who seceded from the Society of Priests of Saint Pius X, spent much time to analyze truths and errors in John Paul II’s writings, calling him Holy Father and praying  for him as such in their daily Mass, as their former leader Archbishop M. Lefèbvre did. Had they seen J.P. II as false Pope, they would have used their great effort for having sooner a new true Pope.  The sedevacante truth helps clear up the mess of opinions in the current debate on The Remnant magazine on Independent priests.  Impossible to please both the Traditional magisterium and the Conciliar heretic Popes and Bishops  A small number of those priests  suffer real persecution from local Bishops just because of their traditional Latin Mass. If they are convinced that those Bishops are false Bishops like their head false Pope J.P. II in Rome, they would not have to bother about their persecution. All that they have to do is  to declare they come outside of this Conciliar Church.  On the other hand as no priest can be independent from an episcopal authority, they have to look for a true traditional Bishop, sedevacantist one, get re-ordained by him if they were ordained in the new invalid rite, then submit themselves to him.

Conclusion. 

We all are more or less late to recognize that the chair of Peter has been vacant since the 7 December 1965.  Because there are poisons of heresies in the documents of Vatican II Council that make  Popes, Bishops who accept them become heretics.  Most of us lack the firmness of  a jurist to admit that an heretic Pope is no more member of the true Catholic Church.  Despite all appearance, he has no more authority over the catholic faithful than a Protestant pastor.  We lack a serious knowledge in history of the Church to see how heresies have been condemned and heretics expelled inexorably from the Church in the past . The monastery of St. Peter Canisius  in Fribourg, Switzerland, made long research and public accusations for heresy against J.P. II  before coming to conclude, in 1986, that the chair of Peter was vacant. (See their Oratory Catechism wherein are enumerated fifteen main errors and heresies in the Conciliar Church and ten complaints against J.P. II.)

We beg our sedevacantist Bishops to agree on organizing an international Committee for the preparation of a papal election among the remnant Church.  We ask various sedevacantist groups on the four continents to make themselves known to each other, and flock around the sedevacantist Bishops we can trust, demanding to have a new true Pope.  We invite the followers of local Popes to participate in this international effort to make one of their Popes accepted universally if possible.

The next true Pope will restore the tiara on his head as  symbol of the supremacy of the successor of Peter.  He will have to restore all the teachings on dogma and morals as of before 1958; restoring in particular the  old Liturgy with Tridentine Latin Mass and latin gregorian chants. He will proclaim null and void all decisions of Vatican II Council and every act of the Conciliar Popes, thus making his reign succeed to Pius XII’s after a long inter-regnum of some 46 years.  He will clear up his surroundings inside the Vatican of the “hidden hand” of the free-masons among the ranks of the clergy itself.  (Cf. The Broken Cross by Piers Compton).  He will convert the world Bishops lured by past Conciliar false Popes into heresy and schism, help them cleanse up their bishopric of the evil of dissenters and homosexuals in their cumbersome bureaucracy. He will restore and promote the latin as official language of the Church.  There is to suspend all Mass-celebrants who have no sufficient knowledge in latin to understand what they say to God in their prayers at the Mass, until they have studied enough latin to do so.

            Prayer of St. Augustine at the death of his mother St. Monica

Laying aside for a while her good deeds, for which I give thanks to Thee, God of my heart, my praise and my life, I do now beseech Thee for the sins of my mother.  Hearken unto me, I entreat Thee by the Healer of our wounds, Who hung upon the tree, and now sitting at Thy right hand, maketh intercession to Thee for us.  I know that she dealt mercifully and from her heart and forgave her debtors their debts; do Thou also forgive her whatever she may contract in so many years since the water of salvation had cleansed her.  Forgive her, Lord, forgive, I beseech Thee.   Enter not into judgement with her.  Let Thy mercy be exalted above Thy justice; for Thy words are true and Thou has promised mercy unto the merciful... (Confessions.  Bk. IX, 10-13)

The above-mentioned heresies are in line with those of Pauls VI in the latter’s declarations in 1964-1965 in conjunction with the the resolutions of the Council in progress. Professor Abbé de Nantes followed closely the statements of Paul VI from 1963 to 1973 and wrote his Book of accusation for heresy, schism and scandal against Paul VI .

-          Capital accusation : Heteropraxis:  Religious Liberty. Heterodoxy: The cult of man.

THE CUTTING EDGE

SETTING THE STAGE: "Windswept House: A Vatican Novel", by Malachi Martin, "The Enthronement of the Fallen Archangel Lucifer, June 29, 1963.

"The Enthronement of the Fallen Archangel Lucifer was effected within the Roman Catholic Citadel on June 29, 1963; a fitting date for the historic promise about to be fulfilled. As the principal agents of this Ceremonial well knew, Satanist tradition had long predicted that the Time of the Prince would be ushered in at the moment when a Pope would take the name of the Apostle Paul. That requirement -- the signal that the Availing Time had begun -- had been accomplished just eight days before with the election of the latest Peter-in-the-Line." [P. 7; Emphasis added]

This Pope who would take the name of the Apostle Paul, was none other than Pope Paul VI, who became Pope on June 21, 1963. Few people know that, on that day, a grand merger of Satanic forces occurred that brought the Vatican into full accord with the Masters of the Illuminati. You see, Satanists know that the Traditional Roman Catholic Church has always been the most powerful practitioner of White Magic Witchcraft in the world [Read NEWS1334 for full details], while the Masters of the Illuminati has been the most powerful practitioner of Black Magick Witchcraft in the world since their founding on May 1, 1776.

As a result, the Vatican and the Masters of the Illuminati had always been mortal enemies on the global stage. Was the world to be united under a global government controlled by the White Magic Vatican or by the Black Magick Illuminati? Vatican intrigue and subversion of governments worldwide continually clashed with similar intrigue by the Black Magic Illuminati. The conflict was the stuff of legends, the stuff of the CIA battling the KGB.

In the early 1800's, the Illuminati decided to infiltrate the Vatican from within, beginning with the infiltration of rogue priests within seminaries, graduating to control of seminaries, then moving to control of the College of Cardinals, and then finally, to control the Papacy itself. From the beginning, they calculated they might need all of 200 years to accomplish this goal. However, they knew they must control the Papacy with Black Magick, for their Christ -- the Biblical Antichrist -- could not arise unless the occult world was united under the Black banner. The Bible foretells that Antichrist will practice Black Magick Witchcraft, in Daniel 8:23-25. Listen:

"And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up. And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practice, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people. And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand." [Parallel Bible, KJV/Amplified Bible Commentary; Emphasis added]

The words we have highlighted, above, are perfect descriptions of a practitioner of Black Magick Witchcraft. A brief explanation is in order:

Fierce Countenance -- since a Black Magick witch or wizard has voluntarily given themselves up to the Dark Side, to the Dark demonic forces of Hell, they are filled with an anger and hatred that is truly supernatural. They will physically take on a dark, brooding look. Adolf Hitler is the most infamous example in world history, and pictures of him abound showing him very dark, very brooding. Freemason Aleister Crowley is another good example.

Understanding Dark Sentences -- When any occultist reaches a certain point in the development of his or her understanding of Witchcraft, they must make a choice: if they choose to use their occult power for "good", they are said to be following the Right Hand Path, and practicing White Magic. If they choose to use their occult power for "evil", they are said to be following the Left Hand Path, and practicing Black Magick Witchcraft. A Black Magick Witch or Wizard then practices "Dark Sentences" that wreak chaos, death, and destruction. A good example of this type of Dark Sentence is a "killing curse", where a demon is called into this dimension for the express purpose of killing an enemy of the coven; police departments are well aware of this type of "Dark Sentence", and they call itPsychic Murder. Such murder is impossible to solve because no human carried out the deed; since a supernatural demon carried out the murder, no clues are left behind which would enable police to solve the crime.

Craft to Prosper in his Hand -- Witchcraft has always been referred to in a shorthand way as "The Craft". Further, all rituals are done by the witch or wizard using their hands. The movement of the hands ceremonially is crucial to the success of the ritual of whatever kind it is.

Thus, Antichrist will practice Black Magick Witchcraft. This Biblical prophecy meant that the ultimate victory would belong to the Masters of the Illuminati. Thus it was that this ultimate capture of the Vatican officially occurred on June 21, 1963, with the coronation of Pope Paul VI. Since the Illuminati revels in flashing symbolic signals to the world that only Satanists will understand, they wasted no time flashing the symbolic signal that they had finally conquered the White Magic Vatican for their cause. Pope Paul VI began to show the Satanic symbol known as the Twisted Crucifix, shown here in the hands of Pope John Paul II. Let us allow Catholic author, Piers Compton the privilege of the explanation, in his book, "The Broken Cross: Hidden Hand In the Vatican", Channel Islands, Neville Spearman, 1981:

"This Bent Crucifix is "... a sinister symbol, used by Satanists in the sixth century, that had been revived at the time of Vatican Two. This was a bent or broken cross, on which was displayed a repulsive and distorted figure of Christ, which the black magicians and sorcerers of the Middle Ages had made use of to represent the Biblical term 'Mark of the Beast'. Yet, not only Paul VI, but his successors, the two John-Pauls, carried that object and held it up to be revered by crowds, who had not the slightest idea that it stood for anti-Christ." (p. 72) On page 56 Compton prints a picture of the current Pope, John Paul II, holding this bent or broken cross, just as we have shown, at left. We encourage you to read the full report on this subject in RC100.

The Twisted Cross is very well known as a symbol of the Black Magick Antichrist to Satanists throughout the world. Further, Satanists around the world know the role of the Papacy in promoting this Black Magick plan. This fact is the reason Malachi Martin showed the Twisted Crucifix on the front cover of his novel, "Windswept House"; this Twisted Crucifix is displayed prominently against the black-clad figure of the Pope in the background!

Now, let us return to the story of the official secret Black Magick ceremony to commemorate this Black Magick victory. It was held on June 29, 1963. I find it highly instructive that the specific day chosen for this black coronation was the 29th of the month, a day that adds to an '11', the number of Antichrist in both the Bible [Daniel 7:7-8] and in Satanic doctrine. After the public ceremony on June 21, the Black Magick ceremony occurred on June 28; however, it was to be a Parallel Ceremony, a ceremony which was to be held in two distinct geographical locations at the identical time. Malachi Martin explains in, "Windswept House". Listen:

"Such unobtrusive elements as the Pentagram and the black candles and the appropriate draperies could be part of the Ceremonial in Rome. But other Ruberics -- the Bowl of Bones and the Ritual Din, for example, the sacrificial animals and the victim -- would be too much. There would have to be a Parallel Enthronement. A Concelebration could be accomplished with the same effect by the Brethren in an Authorized Targeting Chapel. Provided all the participants in both locations 'targeted' every element of the Event on the Roman Chapel, then the Event in its fullness would be accomplished specifically in the target area. It would all be a matter of unanimity of hearts, identity of intention and perfect synchronization of words and actions between the Targeting Chapel and the Target Chapel. The living wills and the thinking minds of the Participants concentrated on the specific Aim of the Prince would transcend all distance." [P. 8]

In other words, the required sacrificial animal, and the human victim, that could not be ceremonially murdered in the secret ceremony in the Roman Chapel within the walls of the Vatican could be carried out at the parallel ceremony in the off-site "Authorized Targeting Chapel". Martin says this chapel was located in South Carolina, USA! [Ibid.]

However, each gesture, each word, of the ceremony in the Roman Chapel within the Vatican must be exactly, simultaneously carried out in the off-site chapel. To accomplish this feat, a telephone hookup was established. In each location, a senior priest who had carried out the ritual so any times they were perfectly familiar with the cadence of the gesture and the spoken word would begin at the same moment, and end at precisely the same moment. When the time came for the "living sacrifice" to be made, the ceremonial dagger in the Vatican would fall at precisely the same moment as the ceremonial dagger in the off-site chapel!

Through this Black Magick ceremony, the first truly Black Magick Pope in history -- Pope Paul VI -- was officially and powerfully enthroned. The Parallel Ceremony was absolutely essential, for the true merger of Satanic forces worldwide could not have otherwise occurred.

But, occur they did. The massive Satanic forces of Black and White Magic ceased their battling for supremacy, joining forces at the "Latter Time" in order to finally move the world into the Kingdom of Antichrist, the New World Order. From that moment, final decisions were made by the top leadership of the Masters of the Illuminati, not the Vatican. The top leadership shifted to the British Monarchy, to the House of Windsor [Read Antichrist and a Cup of Tea, by Tim Cohen]; the Vatican simply began to take orders instead of issue them.

This grand merger of all Satanic forces meant that the Jesuits were now working for the Illuminati, not for the Vatican. All the agents of the Jesuits, and all their organizations, now took their orders from the Illuminati. Therefore, all events that occurred on behalf of the coming New World Order after June 29, 1963, occurred because the Illuminati ordered it. The Vatican ceased to be an independent headquarters, and began marching in full sync with the House of Windsor.

The Pope was then chosen to be the top religious leader in early 1991 [Read NEWS1052 for full details]. Since the Illuminati is fully in control of the Vatican now, and since they plan on the Pope being the Religious False Prophet of Revelation 13:11-18 they have no trouble showing public obeisance to the Pope when they meet with him; thus, the Pope wears the white dress symbolic in the Zoroastrian religion of the Luciferian Sun God, while the Illuminists who meet with him dress in subordinate black [Read NEWS1608].

This fact is the one key element that the author of the Vatican Assassins simply does not understand. Nevertheless, his expose' of the Vatican and the Jesuits is priceless, for they thoroughly document the Jesuit intrigue from the long corridors of history and into the 20th Century. They also aid us in understanding many of the troubling events of history. Let us now examine just such a troubling event: the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Let us review the Vatican Assassins revelations first.

"Vatican Assassins", p. 39

As you carefully study the people of this chart, you will discover the names of the key Jesuit figures that play such a prominent part in this assassination. People like:

Francis Cardinal Spellman, Archbishop of New York and the Knights of Columbus. Vatican Assassins reveals that he is also the "Military Vicar" for America. Few people have ever thought the Cardinal had a "dark side" to him, but he assuredly does, for no one not part of the Black Pope agenda could ever be appointed to such a high level of authority within the Roman Catholic hierarchy.

J. Peter Grace, Head of the American branch of the Knights of Malta. Grace was also appointed to a special investigative panel by President Reagan.

John A. McCone, Knight of Malta, and CFR [Council on Foreign Relations] member, was well known throughout the disastrous Vietnam War, one of the major planned wars of the Illuminati.

William F. Buckley, Jr., Knight of Malta, CFR and CIA, plus the Satanic secret society, Skull and Bones [Read NEWS1314]. Buckley has always been touted as a key "Conservative" that fights Big Government and its ever-increasing instrusiveness, demonstrating the truth we teach in Seminar 2, that the CFR was designed to turn out men and women thoroughly trained in the tactics of the New World Order, while graduating with a label they would carry with them for the rest of their lives.

Henry Luce, Time Magazine, Knight of Malta, CFR/CIA, and Skull and Bones member! Thus, even though he has such Satanic credentials, the Reverend Billy Graham counts him as one of his best friends. Graham said that, after their first meeting arranged at the South Carolina's governor's mansion by 33rd Degree Mason, Strom Thurmon, he and Luce developed an "enduring friendship"! [Dr. Burns, Billy Graham and His Friends: A Hidden Agenda?", p. 41]

Lee Harvey Oswald was a low-level CIA/KGB agent who was used mightily to foster the ridiculous one-gunman theory of the assassination of President Kennedy. Any well-laid assassination will always have a fall-guy to whom the focus of the "investigation" can turn, thus drawing the attention of the average citizen away from the real culprits.

Gerald Ford, destined to become President after Nixon resigned, was not only a Shriner Freemason as reported by Vatican Assassins, but was also a member of the Bilderberg Group, one of the major Illuminist governing bodies.

Charles Colson is identified by Vatican Assassins as a "Pro-Jesuit Protestant"! This certainly explains the terribly wrong turn that Colson's ministry took, as he veered off into horrific apostasy, cooperating with the Pope, accepting the Templeton Award and generally leading trusting Christians astray!

Vatican Assassins correctly identifies the reason President Kennedy was murdered: he was going to take America out of the planned Vietnam War. Further, Kennedy planned to drastically reduce the power and scope of the CIA and the Federal Reserve, and some have even stated their belief that he was going to reveal the total plan of the Illuminati to stage Antichrist!

It is no wonder the Jesuits took him out!

However, the Kennedy Assassination also bears large marks of Freemasonry. As I stated in NEWS1314:

"President Kennedy was planning to use the powers of his office of the presidency to fully inform the American people of the Illuminati plan to enslave us, and only weeks later, he was assassinated. However, his assassination was carried out according to the favorite number of the Illuminati, the eleven:

* Kennedy was murdered during the 11th month [November]
* Kennedy was murdered on the 22nd day [11 x 2]
* Kennedy was murdered at the 33rd parallel [11 x 3]
* Kennedy was murdered in the Masonic Dealey Plaza, the site of an old Masonic Lodge during the time of the Texas revolution designed to free Texas from Mexican control. Dealey Plaza also has an obelisk commemorating the site as being "the first fraternal Lodge in Texas". ["Masonry: Conspiracy Against Christianity", by A. Ralph Epperson, p. 51]

Thus, Kennedy was murdered with the bold typical signature of the Illuminati, just as surely as the Number 11 formed the Illuminist signature of the attack on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on September 11, 2001." [Read NEWS1533, NEWS1538, NEWS1541]

Vatican Assassins listed men involved in the assassination who were connected to the Jesuits, as we have detailed, above. Below are men involved in critical positions with the assassination who were Masons: [Taken from "Masonry: Conspiracy Against Christianity", by A. Ralph Epperson, p. 332+]

Earl Warren, head of the Warren Commission.

J. Edgar Hoover, a 33rd Degree Mason.

Further, Kennedy was shot in the exact location in which the legendary hero, Hiram Abiff, was struck by the three ruffians in the dramatic legend of the Masonic Lodge! As was Hiram Abiff, Kennedy was struck in the back near the area of the heart, the neck, and finally the head. The last blow killed both men.

Finally, the Illuminati signaled to the entire world that they were the force behind the assassination when they created the Eternal Flame monument to the slain President [Read NEWS1547 for full details].

Freemasonry thus has its fingerprints all over the Kennedy assassination!

GRAND MERGER OF ILLUMINIZED FREEMASONRY AND VATICAN JESUITS
Now, how can both the White Magic Jesuits and the Black Magick Masons be intimately involved in the leadership of the assassination of President Kennedy? One cannot possibly reconcile this question unless you understand that a grand merger of all Satanic forces occurred on June 29, 1963, at the secret Enthronement of Pope Paul VI!

The organizations set up by the Jesuits became the organizations of the Masters of the Illuminati on June 29, 1963.

We are now fully 39 years following that eventful, secret Enthronement of the Fallen Archangel Lucifer, as described by Malachi Martin. World events have proceeded apace, and now the world stands trembling at the precipice the Bible calls the Tribulational Period, and its ruler, Antichrist

C.I.A Hit List - Ngô Đình Diệm - (President of the Republic Of Vietnam)

Ngô Đình Diệm (January 3, 1901 – November 2, 1963)

Was the first President of South Vietnam (1955–1963). In the wake of the French withdrawal from Indochina as a result of the 1954 Geneva Accords, Diệm led the effort to create the Republic of Vietnam. Accruing considerable U.S. support due to his staunch anti-Communism, he achieved victory in a 1955 plebiscite that was widely considered fraudulent. Proclaiming himself the Republic's first President, he demonstrated considerable political skill in the consolidation of his power, and his rule proved authoritarian, elitist, nepotistic, and corrupt. A Roman Catholic, Diệm pursued policies that rankled and oppressed the Republic's Montagnard natives and its Buddhist majority. Amid religious protests that garnered worldwide attention, Diệm lost the backing of his U.S. patrons and was assassinated by Nguyễn Văn Nhung, the aide of ARVN General Dương Văn Minh on November 2, 1963, during a coup d'état that deposed his government.

Early career

After graduating at the top of his class in 1921, Diệm followed in the footsteps of his eldest brother, Ngô Ðình Khôi, joining the civil service. Starting from the lowest rank of mandarin, Diệm steadily rose. He first served at the royal library in Huế, and within one year was the district chief, presiding over seventy villages. Diệm was promoted to be a provincial chief at the age of 25, overseeing 300 villages. Diệm said that he contemplated resigning but encouragement from the populace convinced him to persist. He first encountered communists distributing propaganda while riding horseback through the region near Quảng Trị. Diệm involved himself in anti-communist activities for the first time, printing his own pamphlets. In 1929, he helped to round up communist agitators in his administrative area. He was rewarded with the promotion to the governorship of Phan Thiết Province, and in 1930 and 1931 suppressed the first peasant revolts organised by the communists, in collaboration with French forces. During the violent events, many villagers were raped and murdered.[3] In 1933, with the return of Bảo Đại to ascend the throne, Diệm was appointed by the French to be his interior minister following lobbying by Bài. After calling for the French to introduce a Vietnamese legislature, he resigned after three months in office when this was rejected. He was stripped of his decorations and titles and threatened with arrest.[1][4]

For the next decade, Diệm lived as a private citizen with his family, although he was kept under surveillance. He was to have no formal job for 21 years. He spent his time on reading, meditating, attending church, gardening, hunting and amateur photography. Being a conservative, With the start of the Second World War in the Pacific, he attempted to persuade the invading Japanese forces to declare independence for Vietnam in 1942 but was ignored. He founded a secret political party, the Association for the Restoration of Great Vietnam. When its existence was discovered in the summer of 1944, the French declared Diệm to be a subversive and ordered his arrest. He fled to Saigon disguised as a Japanese officer. In 1945, the Japanese offered him the premiership of a puppet regime under Bảo Đại which they organised upon leaving the country. He declined initially, but regretted his decision and attempted to reclaim the offer. Bảo Đại had already given the post to another candidate and Diệm avoided the stigma of being a collaborationist. In September 1945 after the Japanese withdrawal, Hồ Chí Minh proclaimed the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, his Việt Minh began fighting the French. Diệm attempted to travel to Huế to dissuade Bảo Đại from joining Hồ, but was arrested by the Việt Minh along the way and exiled to a highland village near the border. Six months later, he was taken to meet Hồ in Hanoi, but refused to join the Việt Minh, assailing Hồ for the death of his brother Khoi. Khoi had been buried alive by Việt Minh cadres.[1][4]

Diệm continued to attempt to gather support for himself on an anti-Vietminh platform. Despite having little success, Ho was sufficiently irritated to order his arrest. Diem narrowly evaded arrest but was given respite in November 1946 when clashes between the French and Vietminh escalated into full scale war, forcing to Vietminh to divert their resources to fighting. Diem then jointly founded the Vietnam National Alliance, which called for France to grant Vietnam dominion status similar to the Commonwealth of Nations. The alliance was sufficient to generate support to fund newspapers in Hanoi and Saigon respectively. Both were shut down; the editor in Hanoi was arrested and hit men were hired to kill his Saigon counterpart. Diem's activities had gained him substantial publicity and when France decided to make concessions to placate nationalist agitators, they asked him to lobby Bảo Đại to join them. Diem gave up when Bảo Đại made a deal which he felt to be soft, and returned to Huế. In the meantime, the French had started the State of Vietnam and Diem refused Bảo Đại's offer to become the Prime Minister. He then published a new manifesto in newspapers proclaiming a third force different to communism and French colonialism, but raised little interest. In 1950, the Vietminh lost patience sentenced him to death in absentia, and the French refused to protect him. Ho's cadres tried to kill him while he was traveling to visit his elder brother Ngo Dinh Thuc in the Mekong Delta, where he was the bishop of the Vĩnh Long diocese. Diem then left Vietnam in 1950.[1][4]

Exile

Diem applied for permission to travel to Rome for the Holy Year celebrations at the Vatican. After gaining French permission he left in August with Thuc, apparently destined to become a politically irrelevant figure. Before going to Europe, Diem went to Japan, where he intended to meet Cường Để to enlist support to seize power. Neither this nor an attempt to woo help from General Douglas MacArthur, the American supreme commander in occupied Japan, yielded meetings.

A friend managed to organise a meeting with Wesley Fishel, an American academic who had done consultancy work for the US government. Fishel was a proponent of the anti-colonial, anti-communist third force doctrine in Asia and was impressed with Diem. He helped Diem to organise contacts and meetings in the United States to enlist support.[5] It was an opportune time for Diem, with the outbreak of the Korean War and McCarthyism helping to make Vietnamese anti-communists a sought after commodity in America. Diem was given a reception at the State Department with the Acting Secretary of State James Webb.

He did meet Cardinal Francis Spellman, regarded as the most politically powerful cleric of his time. Spellman had studied with Thuc in Rome in the 1930s and was to become one of Diem's most powerful advocates. Diem managed an audience with Pope Pius XII in Rome before further lobbying across Europe. Diem also attempted to convince Bảo Đại to make him the Prime Minister of the State of Vietnam but was turned down. Diệm returned to the United States to continue lobbying and in 1951 was able to secure an audience with Secretary of State Dean Acheson.

During the next three years he lived at Spellman's Maryknoll seminary in Lakewood Township, New Jersey and occasionally at another seminary in Ossining, New York.[6] Spellman helped Diệm to garner support among right wing and Catholic circles such as that of Joseph McCarthy. Diem toured the east of America speaking at universities, arguing that Vietnam could only be saved for the "free world" if the US sponsored a government of nationalists who were opposed to both the Vietminh and the French. He was appointed as a consultant to Michigan State University's Government Research Bureau, where Fishel worked. MSU was administering government-sponsored assistance programs for cold war allies, and Diệm helped Fishel to lay the foundation for a program later implemented in South Vietnam, the Michigan State University Vietnam Advisory Group. As French power in Vietnam declined, Diệm's support in America made his stock rise.[7]

With the fall of Dien Bien Phu in 1954 to the Vietminh, French control of Vietnam collapsed and Bảo Đại needed foreign help to sustain his State of Vietnam. Realising Diệm's popularity among American policymakers, he chose Diệm's youngest brother Ngo Dinh Luyen, who was studying in Europe at the time, to be part of his delegation at the 1954 Geneva Conference to determine the future of Indochina. Luyen represented Bảo Đại in his dealings with the Americans, who understood this to be an expression of interest in Diệm. With the backing of the Eisenhower administration, Bảo Đại named Diệm as the Prime Minister. The appointment was widely condemned by French officials, who felt that Diệm was incompetent, with the Prime Minister Mendes-France declaring Diệm to be a "fanatic".

The Geneva accords resulted in Vietnam being partitioned temporarily at the 17th parallel, pending elections in 1956 to reunify the country. The Vietminh controlled the north, while the French backed State of Vietnam controlled the south with Diệm as the Prime Minister. French Indochina was to be dissolved at the start of 1955. Diệm's South Vietnamese delegation chose not to sign the accords, refusing to have half the country under communist rule, but the agreement went into effect regardless.[8]

Diệm arrived at Tan Son Nhut airport in Saigon on June 26, where only a few hundred people turned out to greet him, mainly Catholics. Diệm managed only one wave after getting into his vehicle and did not smile. He was not a man of the people and did not intend to become one, being more interested in commanding respect than popular affection.[9]

Consolidation of power

The accords allowed for freedom of movement between the two zones until October 1954; this was to put a large strain on the south. Diệm had only expected 10,000 refugees, but by August, there were over 200,000 waiting in Hanoi and Haiphong to be evacuated; the migration helped to strengthen Diệm's political base of support. Before the partition, the majority of Vietnam's Catholic population lived in the north. After the borders were sealed, this majority was now under Diệm's rule. The US Navy program Operation Passage to Freedom saw up to one million North Vietnamese move south, most of them Catholic.

The CIA's Edward Lansdale, who had been posted to help Diệm strengthen his rule,[10] led a propaganda campaign to encourage as many refugees to move south as possible. This effort was twofold: to strengthen the Catholic population specifically and the population generally to help win the 1956 reunification elections. This included sending South Vietnamese agents into the north to spread rumours of impending doom, such as Chinese invasion and pillaging, hiring soothsayers to predict disaster under communism, and claiming that the Americans would use nuclear weapons on North Vietnam. Diệm also used slogans such as "Christ has gone south" and "the Virgin Mary had departed from the North", alleging anti-Catholic persecution under Ho Chi Minh. Over 60% of northern Catholics moved to Diệm's South Vietnam, providing him with a source of loyal support.

Diệm's position at the time was weak; Bảo Đại disliked Diệm and appointed him mainly to political imperatives. The French saw him as hostile and hoped that his rule would collapse. At the time, the French Expeditionary Corps was the most powerful military force in the south; Diệm's Vietnamese National Army was essentially organised and trained by the French. Its officers were installed by the French and the chief of staff General Nguyen Van Hinh was a French citizen; Hinh loathed Diệm and frequently disobeyed him.

Diệm also had to contend with two religious sects, the Cao Dai and Hoa Hao, who wielded private armies in the Mekong Delta, with the Cao Dai estimated to have 25,000 men. The Vietminh was also estimated to have control over a third of the country. The situation was worse in the capital, where the Binh Xuyen organised crime syndicate boasted an army of 40,000 and controlled a vice empire of brothels, casinos, extortion rackets, and opium factories unparalleled in Asia. Bảo Đại had given the Binh Xuyen control of the national police for 1.25 m USD, creating a situation that the Americans likened to Chicago under Al Capone in the 1920s. In effect, Diệm's control did not extend beyond his palace.

In August, Hinh launched a series of public attacks on Diệm, proclaiming that South Vietnam needed a "strong and popular" leader; Hinh bragged that he was preparing a coup. This was thwarted when Lansdale arranged overseas holiday invitations for Hinh's officers. Fearing Diệm's collapse, nine members of his government resigned during Hinh's abortive bid for power. Despite its failure, the French continued to encourage Diệm's enemies in an attempt to destabilize him.

Establishment of the Republic of Vietnam

Diệm's appointment came after the French had been defeated at the Battle of Dien Bien Phu and were ready to withdraw from Indochina. At the start of 1955, French Indochina was dissolved, leaving Diệm in temporary control of the south.[11] A referendum was scheduled for October 23, 1955 to determine the future direction of the south. It was contested by Bảo Đại, the Emperor, advocating the restoration of the monarchy, while Diệm ran on a republican platform. The elections were held, with Diệm's brother and confidant Ngô Đình Nhu, the leader of the family's Can Lao Party, which supplied Diệm's electoral base, organising and supervising the elections.[12][13] Campaigning for Bảo Đại was prohibited, and the result was rigged, with Bảo Đại supporters attacked by Nhu's workers. Diệm recorded 98.2% of the vote, including 605,025 votes in Saigon, where only 450,000 voters were registered. Diệm's tally also exceeded the registration numbers in other districts.[12][14] Three days later, Diệm proclaimed the formation of the Republic of Vietnam, naming himself President.

Under the 1954 Geneva Accords, Vietnam was to undergo elections in 1956 to reunify the country. Diệm, noting that South Vietnam was not a party to the convention, canceled these. Criticising the Communists, he justified the electoral cancellation by claiming that the 1956 elections would be "meaningful only on the condition that they are absolutely free", despite his numerically impossible tally in the 1955 contest.[15]

After coming under pressure from within the country and the United States, Diệm agreed to hold legislative elections in August 1959 for South Vietnam. Newspapers were not allowed to publish names of independent candidates or their policies, and political meetings exceeding five people were prohibited. Candidates were disqualified for petty reasons such as acts of vandalism against campaign posters. In the rural areas, candidates who ran were threatened using charges of conspiracy with the Vietcong, which carried the death penalty. Phan Quang Dan, the government's most prominent critic, was allowed to run. Despite the deployment of 8,000 ARVN plainclothes troops into his district to vote, Dan still won with a 6–1 ratio. The busing of soldiers occurred across the country, and when the new assembly convened, Dan was arrested.[16][17]

Rule

Diệm's rule was authoritarian and nepotistic. His most trusted official was his brother, Ngô Đình Nhu, leader of the primary pro-Diệm Can Lao political party, who was an opium addict and admirer of Adolf Hitler. He modeled the Can Lao secret police's marching style and torture styles on Nazi designs.[18]Ngô Đình Cẩn, his younger brother, was put in charge of the former Imperial City of Huế. Although neither Cẩn or Nhu held any official role in the government, they ruled their regions of South Vietnam, commanding private armies and secret police.

Another brother, Ngô Đình Luyện, was appointed Ambassador to the United Kingdom. His elder brother, Ngô Đình Thục, was the archbishop of Huế. Despite this, Thuc lived in the Presidential Palace, along with Nhu, Nhu's wife and Diệm. Diệm was nationalistic, devoutly Catholic, anti-Communist, and preferred the philosophies of personalism and Confucianism.[19][20]

Diệm's rule was also pervaded by family corruption. Can was widely believed to be involved in illegal smuggling of rice to North Vietnam on the black market and opium throughout Asia via Laos, as well as monopolising the cinnamon trade, amassing a fortune stored in foreign banks.[21][22]With Nhu, Can competed for U.S. contracts and rice trade.[23] Thuc, the most powerful religious leader in the country, was allowed to solicit "voluntary contributions to the Church" from Saigon businessmen, which was likened to "tax notices".[24] Thuc also used his position to acquire farms, businesses, urban real estate, rental property and rubber plantations for the Catholic Church. He also used Army of the Republic of Vietnam personnel to work on his timber and construction projects. The Nhus amassed a fortune by running numbers and lottery rackets, manipulating currency and extorting money from Saigon businesses. Luyen became a multimillionaire by speculating in piasters and pounds on the currency exchange using inside government information.[25]

Madame Nhu, the wife of his brother Nhu, was South Vietnam's First Lady, and she led the way in Diệm's programs to reform Saigon society in accordance with their Catholic values. Brothels and opium dens were closed, divorce and abortion made illegal, and adultery laws were strengthened. Diệm also won a street war with the private army of the Binh Xuyen organised crime syndicate of the Cholon brothels and gambling houses who had enjoyed special favors under the French and Bảo Đại. He further dismantled the private armies of the Cao Dai and Hoa Hao religious sects, which controlled parts of the Mekong Delta. Diệm was also passionately anti-Communist. Tortures and killings of "communist suspects" were committed on a daily basis. The death toll was put at around 50,000 with 75,000 imprisonments, and Diệm's effort extended beyond communists to anti-communist dissidents and anti-corruption whistleblowers.[26]

As opposition to Diệm's rule in South Vietnam grew, a low-level insurgency began to take shape there in 1957. Finally, in January 1959, under pressure from southern cadres who were being successfully targeted by Diệm's secret police, Hanoi's Central Committee issued a secret resolution authorizing the use of armed struggle in the South. On 20 December 1960, under instruction from Hanoi, southern communists established the National Front for the Liberation of South Vietnam in order to overthrow the government of the south. The NLF was made up of two distinct groups: South Vietnamese intellectuals who opposed the government and were nationalists; and communists who had remained in the south after the partition and regrouping of 1954 as well as those who had since come from the north, together with local peasants. While there were many non-communist members of the NLF, they were subject to the control of the party cadres and increasingly side-lined as the conflict continued; they did, however, enable the NLF to portray itself as a primarily nationalist, rather than communist, movement.

The cornerstone of Diệm's counterinsurgency effort was the Strategic Hamlet Program, which called for the consolidation of 14,000 villages of South Vietnam into 11,000 secure hamlets, each with its own houses, schools, wells, and watchtowers. The hamlets were intended to isolate the NLF from the villages, their source of recruiting soldiers, supplies and information.

1962 South Vietnamese Presidential Palace bombing

The communists in southern Vietnam resolved that "if we are able to kill Ngo Dinh Diem, the leader of the current fascists dictatorial puppet government, the situation would develop along lines more favourable to our side."[27] Accordingly, on February 22, 1957, when Diem made a visit to an economic fair in Ban Me Thuot, a communist cadre named Ha Minh Tri carried out a directive to assassinate the president. He approached Diem and fired a pistol from close range, but missed, hitting the Secretary of Agrarian Reform's left arm. The weapon jammed and security overpowered Tri before he was able to fire another shot. Diem was unmoved by the incident.[28]

There was an additional attempt to assassinate Ngo (as well as his family) in 1962 when two air force officers —acting in unison —bombed the presidential palace.

Ngo Dinh Diem presidential visit to Australia and Ngo Dinh Diem presidential visit to the United States

In 1957, Diệm visited the United States and Australia, where he was hailed as a "leader of the free world". He was widely feted by the media and politicians of both major parties for his anti-communist convictions.

Land policy

During the 1946–54 war against the French Union forces, the Vietminh, having gained control of parts of southern Vietnam, initiated land reform. During the period of war, rent collection, which hovered at around 50–70%, was impossible in some parts of the country, or the Vietminh had compelled landlords to seek safety in the city and confiscated their land, distributing it to the peasants. When Diệm came to power, he reversed these reallocations as upper-class landowners were part of his ideological support base. In the Mekong Delta, 0.025% of landowners owned 40% of the land; most of the land was owned by absentee landlords and worked by tenant farmers.

This generated resentment among the populace, as land ownership was highly valued by Vietnamese society. Diệm declared that landlords could collect no more than 25%, but this was not enforced and in some cases the rent levels were higher than those under French colonisation. Under U.S. pressure, in 1956, he limited individual land holdings to 1.15 km², and reimbursed the landlords for the excess, which he sold to peasants. Many landlords evaded the redistribution by transferring the property to the name of family members. In addition, the ceiling limit was more than 30 times that allowed in South Korea and Taiwan, and the 370,000 acres (1,500 km2) of Catholic Church land were exempted. As a result, only 13% of the South Vietnam's land was redistributed, and by the end of his regime, only 10% of the tenants had received any land, at a high cost. This policy failure generated anger, and in turn sympathy to the Vietminh who had given the peasants free land. At the end of Diệm's rule, 10% of the population owned 55% of the land.[29]

Believing that the central highlands may be of strategic importance to the Vietcong or in a potential invasion by North Vietnam, Diệm decided to construct a Maginot Line of settlements. The area, inhabited by Montagnard indigenous people, had been largely allowed local autonomy in previous times, and the locals distrusted ethnic Vietnamese. Diệm initiated a program of internal migration where 210,000 Vietnamese, mainly Catholics, were moved to Montagnard land in fortified settlements.[30] When the Montagnards protested, Diệm's forces confiscated their spears and bows, which they used to hunt for daily sustenance.[31] Since then, and to the present day, Vietnam has been faced with a Montagnard insurgent separatist movement.[32]

Cable 243, 1963 South Vietnamese coup, and Arrest and assassination of Ngô Đình Diệm

On orders from U.S. President John F. Kennedy, Henry Cabot Lodge, the American ambassador to South Vietnam, refused to meet with Diệm. Upon hearing that a coup d'état was being designed by ARVN generals led by General Dương Văn Minh, the United States gave secret assurances to the generals that the U.S. would not interfere. Dương Văn Minh and his co-conspirators overthrew the government on November 1, 1963.

The Kennedy administration had been aware of the coup planning, but Cable
243 from the United States Department of State to U.S. Ambassador to
South Vietnam Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr., stated that it was U.S. policy not
to try to stop it. Lucien Conein, The Central Intelligence Agency's
liaison between the US embassy and the coup planners, told them that the
US would not intervene to stop it. Conein also provided funds to the
coup leaders.

The coup was very swift. On November 1, with only the palace guard remaining to defend President Diệm and his younger brother, Ngô Đình Nhu, the generals called the palace offering Diệm exile if he surrendered. However, that evening, Diệm and his entourage escaped via an underground passage to Cholon, where they were captured the following morning, November 2. The brothers were executed in the back of an armoured personnel carrier by Captain Nguyen Van Nhung while en route to the Vietnamese Joint General Staff headquarters.[62] Diệm was buried in an unmarked grave in a cemetery next to the house of the U.S. ambassador.[63]

Aftermath

Upon learning of Diệm's ouster and death, Ho Chi Minh is reported to have said, "I can scarcely believe the Americans would be so stupid."[64] The North Vietnamese Politburo was more explicit, predicting: "The consequences of the 1 November coup d'état will be contrary to the calculations of the U.S. imperialists ... Diệm was one of the strongest individuals resisting the people and Communism. Everything that could be done in an attempt to crush the revolution was carried out by Diệm. Diệm was one of the most competent lackeys of the U.S. imperialists ... Among the anti-Communists in South Vietnam or exiled in other countries, no one has sufficient political assets and abilities to cause others to obey. Therefore, the lackey administration cannot be stabilized. The coup d'état on 1 November 1963 will not be the last."[64]

After Diệm's assassination, South Vietnam was unable to establish a stable government and numerous coups took place during the first several years after his death. While the U.S. continued to influence South Vietnam's government, the assassination bolstered North Vietnamese attempts to characterize the South Vietnamese as supporters of colonialism.[65]

The coup d'état on 1 November 1963 will not be the last. Diem was murdered the next day on November 2, 1963.
